What we need is easily accessible rental cars for when we really need them. Private cars and jets should never have been a thing…

Those companies produce the goods WE buy. If we didn’t buy them, the emissions wouldn’t be accounted to that company that sells you the good. Oil, electricity or something else that you use.

Anyways, being fatalist about all that gets us nowhere.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Get informed
2. Join organization that aims for change
3. Put in work

Or that would have been it if we still had time to prevent catastrophic climate change. We can still try but I’m fairly certain we missed the train and I wish nothing else but me being wrong. I’m still vegan tho and use bicycle.

About footprints. William Rees wrote about ecological footprint in 1992 and carbon footprint was commonly used after 2000. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/095624789200400212
